Analysis Note: | These secondary standards offer multi-traceability to the USP, EP (PhEur) and BP primary standards, where they are available. |
Application: | Phenol may be used as a standard in determining the concentration of phenol present in samples of water using gas chromatography coupled with electron capture detector (GC-ECD). |
Application: | These Secondary Standards are qualified as Certified Reference Materials. These are suitable for use in several analytical applications including but not limited to pharma release testing, pharma method development for qualitative and quantitative analyses, food and beverage quality control testing, and other calibration requirements. |
